My daughter did a ICE protest walk out today and their administration said they will not get any consequences as long as they stay on school grounds. And the administration proceeded to say why they were doing the walkout that they could only stay in this certain area even though it was very well mu

Posted by a parent on 7/14/2024This school is the worst. The teacher I hate didn't grade like 3 assignments that were turned in and never graded them. She is also very discriminate. One time, I forgot to turn in an assignment and that day was the deadline but I didn't know. The next day, the assignment was locked so I asked the t
Posted by a student on 6/7/2024Our child excelled academically and the vast majority of teachers were engaged and willing to help. The leadership assisted with a couple of situations and were helpful in resolving the matter quickly and to our satisfaction.
Posted by a parent on 5/19/2024I got sent to the mental hospital all because I was complaining, this is not okay, just because I got bullied doesn’t mean I have to be the one to go to the hospital, they need to! This school treats the bad kids good and treats the good kids bad! It’s so DUMB!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a former student of this school - I would absolutely not recommend this school to any parent looking for an "alternative method" to public schools unless your child is in the 5-10 age group. As soon as you are transferred to the middle school, teachers start to treat you differently. Students are out of control, the counselors have little to no care for any of you given your "bad reputation" and none of the electives teachers really care about you.I was bullied for a majority of my middle school years, and so was my little brother who, at the time, was in 5th grade. My little brother was getting everyday harassment, bullying (physically AND emotionally) and the principal told our family that if my little brother hadn't 'started a feud' in the first place, none of this would've happened. Not only is the school principal ridiculously self-righteous and rarely present, she made no effort in my brother's bullying. We had to file a restraining order after my brother was hit in the face with a ball and knocked unconscious. There was one kid who had threatened to school up the entire school - sent pictures of a weapon, shared it with classmates, scared everyone half to death. They made him read a note *apologizing* to us a week later. He faced absolutely ZERO reprimands for what he had done. There are very few teachers in the middle school who are outstanding, and treated me better than anyone had in that school, one in specific, but that is absolutely not enough for teenagers. Do not send your kids here. And if you are, keep them OUT of the middle school.Other Review1mo ago - Tuscarora Elementary School
